A couple of weeks ago while roaming around the forum I mentioned to someone that I had a Philips 3103,and someone asked me something about it. So seeing that my IBM 5150 and friends are all happy at the moment I decided to check out Philips a little closer....
So using some of my new found information(Thanx Guys) I formatted it...Made a Dos Directory,Got Dos 3.3 Installed and it runs GREAT.:D
So, For anyone thats interested...here goes.
Its a Philips 3103-200 with a Kalok "Octagon" Hard Drive (32 Mgs) It has Mono Display and both 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 Drives. I installed PCTools to find out a bit more...Its a "XT" class computer with 8088 Processor - Original Bios version 9/12/86.
It has 640 K of Ram.
The startup screen is as follows.
Philips PC Rom 1.04
Seagate ST11 Bios Rev. 2.0.0
C:\
It starts quick and runs just fine !!!!
My main interest in it was the sticker on the back "Assembled in Canada".
It doesnt take much to amuse some of us up here
One thing that "I" thought was unusual about this machine was that the Hard Drive is mounted on its own Card"?" next to the Controller Card. I was going to investigate that a bit further but my luck with Controller Cards lately has'nt been great so as It works I wont "Fix" it.
Theres a Pic of this machine on my Web Site and if anyone wants or has any more info on this machine ,Let me know.
